DX: I’ve noticed that there are samples I’ve heard more than enough times.
DJ Victorious: That’s what we wanted to show, we can create concepts and excel with them. It is getting very easy for us. We could do 24. That’s why the albums are crazy because on Cinderella Man, we have one producer, J.Cardim. One thing you haven’t really heard recently is an album with one producer and has one complete sound.

DX: Lets talk “The Secret”, it sounds intriguing. What is the theme behind it? [click to listen]
Sha Stimuli: Can’t tell you. [Laughter] It is inspired by the book and the movie. Also it’s inspired by life, I go through a lot of things people identify with a starving artist, where some days its great, you read a Myspace comment or you get recognized and you feel on top of the world. Every little thing counts, but at the same time, where your at in life doesn’t reflect where you want to be. You go through ups and downs. I talk to a lot of people who go through life looking focusing on the down. You ever talk to somebody who is never comfortable, something is always weighting down on them.

I know a lot of people like that and I could tell them be happy, but it's another thing to do records about it. So this is my chance to spit my futuristic rap shit, where we say were going to do this forever, but at the same time I’m letting you know that life isn’t that bad. I got a song called “I Live Like I’m Dying” and it's me walking around as if Its my last day on earth and there is no time to really complain about shit.

DX: What’s up with Thee Emotion Picture?
DJ Victorious: The Emotion Picture is going to be like a Marvin Gaye record. I am talking about old vintage Marvin Gaye, the range, the emotion, the passion… it's going to be classic.
Sha Stimuli: I think we are setting people up with these CDs. We really want to give people is the truth. I am giving people my story but it can be anybody’s story. We talk about life, death, love, hate, money, poverty, religion, rape, everything you can think of, but with real full production. I am not trying to downplay these CDs, but there is nothing to them, two or three verses, a concept, good beats and good rhymes. We aren’t meeting with producers and not vibing. With Thee Emotion Picture, we're giving my life story, were just trying to do something different. I don’t know if I am going to do another album afterwards.
